Please, come and bring food for the dogs of our island or make a donation. You can make a donation via paypal or directly to the Doris bank account, you find the information under the heading 'You can help' above. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

'Become an angel for strays'

This was the main slogan of today's very successful event organized by the Association of Runners of the island. The event was held to raise awareness and enable our compatriots to take part in the 2 kilometer road run which included a token participation cost of 2 euros for the financial support of our club.

And this goal was acheived with lots of joy. The event was supported by many people, young and old, who pinned the messages supporting animal welfare on their clothes. They also put their faithful four legged friends on leads to take part. Small, medium and large they put on their best smile, braved the bitter cold and set off on the planned route. There were no timekeeping or awards just a contribution to the aims and ideals of volunteering and the offer of support to the cause.

Today also saw our main town's siesta pleasantly shaken up by the spectacle of so many two and four legged runners and the message that they carried. And the message was carried everywhere helping others to see and believe.

We should be proud and pleased that so many of our young people ran, we should be entitled to dream of a better and fairer world for tomorrow, a society that accepts without thought, the right of coexistence of all living beings, safe in it's protection!!

We want to congratulate warmly the Board and members of the Assoc
